Re: How much powder?
Actually multi coating is a very good technique to use when doing tins...Especially if you're shooting a candy top coat. It does however take a great deal of practice. Shooting solids on wheels should not be much different, although I would shy away if you're shooting a metallic. If you're looking for an incredibly rich deep coating I'm with tavo on this one. There is a techinque in liquid painting called flash coating that's bascially the same. Several thin coats appear much thicker and have more depth than a single coat of the same thickness. A word of caution though...You really need to practice to get it right. The way it works on tins is: After a good outgassing let your parts cool and spray a thin but even coat, then a partial cure. Remove the part from the oven and let it mostly cool and spray a thin but even coat and another partial cure. repeat the process until you have a good thick even coat and complete the cure...If you do it right the surface will look like you're looking through about 4 inches of candy, when you're really only looking at about 1.5 to 2.5 mils.
